Christmas in Salamanca, Chile

Okay, so when the basement gets down you will have to send some pictures of it. Everything should be good with the baptisms. They are both getting baptized this Saturday. One at 5 and one at seven. That is good that you could go down to Riverton and hear Elder Hansen talk. That is really cool. The time on the skype call went by so fast! Time has never gone faster, but it was good to see you. The next skype call will be better. The connection in Salamanca isn't a good connection. I forgot if my American degree got to you guys or not. You asked about the package for my birthday. I would rather just have the money in saving for after. Don't sent the package, unless you have already sent it, but if you haven't don't worry, I don't need anything. I think Nicole and the llamilett are getting excited for their baptisms. That should be really good. I am excited for them. It should be a really good day. On Christmas, after the skype call, we went singing at the hospital, and then we sang in the town square. It was nuts, but a girl said that it was the best Christmas she ever had and that was even with me singing! So that is good.  My comp is teaching me how to play the guitar too so I know a few notes.

The ladies that you saw on skype, one is going to be baptized. The little dark girl, that was Nicole. Then her mom, Alejandra, and Camila and Kenita. They are fun. It was a good time . So we got the branch activity over with. It was really fun and good to be over with . We had 62 people come to church yesterday, so that was cool. Then yesterday, I had to do the tithing and say if people were full tithe payers or not. It was really long. Good thing it's only a branch! There was still like 400 names. Other then that, it was good to see you on skype.  Have a good week and a good new year.

Love,

Elder Gillies
